Lik 4
1 Jezi tounen soti bò larivyè Jouden an; li te anba pouvwa Sentespri. Se konsa Lespri Bondye a mennen l' nan dezè a.
On returning from the Jordan, full of the Holy Spirit, Jesus was led by the power of the Spirit through the wilderness for forty days, tempted by the devil.
2 Se la Satan vin tante l' pandan karant jou. Tout jou sa yo li pa t' manje anyen menm. Apre jou sa yo fin pase, li te grangou.
All that time he ate nothing; and, when it was over, he became hungry.
3 Satan di l' konsa: Si ou se Pitit Bondye, bay wòch sa a lòd pou l' tounen pen.
So the devil said to him, ‘If you are God’s Son, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.’
4 Jezi reponn li: Men sa ki ekri: Moun pa ka viv ak pen sèlman.
And Jesus answered him, ‘Scripture says – “It is not on bread alone that a person is to live.”’
5 Satan mennen l' yon kote ki wo. Yon sèl kou, li moutre l' tout peyi ki sou latè.
And the devil led Jesus up, and showing him in a single moment all the kingdoms of the earth, said to him,
6 Li di Jezi konsa: M'ap ba ou tout pouvwa ak tout richès peyi sa yo. Yo renmèt tout bagay sa yo nan men mwen, mwen ka bay moun mwen vle yo.
‘I will give you all this power, and the splendour of them; for it has been given into my hands and I give it to whom I wish.
7 Si ou mete ajenou devan m', tout bagay sa yo pou ou.
If you worship me, it will all be yours.’
8 Jezi reponn li: Men sa ki ekri: Se Mèt la, Bondye ou, pou ou adore. Se li menm ase pou ou sèvi.
And Jesus answered him, ‘Scripture says – “You should worship the Lord your God, and worship him only.”’
9 Apre sa, Satan mennen l' lavil Jerizalèm, li mete l' kanpe sou pwent fetay tanp lan; li di Jezi konsa: Si ou se Pitit Bondye, rete isit la lage kò ou anba.
The devil next led him into Jerusalem, and, placing him on the parapet of the Temple, said, ‘If you are God’s Son throw yourself down from here,
10 Paske, men sa ki ekri: Bondye va bay zanj li yo lòd pou yo veye sou ou.
for scripture says – “He will give his angels commands about you, to guard you safely,”
11 Y'a pote ou nan men yo pou ou pa kase pye ou sou ankenn wòch.
And “On their hands they will lift you up, otherwise you might strike your foot against a stone.”’
12 Jezi reponn li: Men sa ki ekri tou: Ou pa dwe seye sonde Mèt la, Bondye ou.
But Jesus answered him, ‘It is said – “You must not tempt the Lord your God.”’
13 Apre Satan fin sonde Jezi tout jan sa yo, li kite l' jouk la jwenn yon lòt okasyon.
When he had tried every kind of temptation, the devil left Jesus, until another opportunity.
14 Jezi te anba pouvwa Sentespri Bondye a; li tounen, li ale nan peyi Galile. Nan tout peyi a se tout moun ki t'ap nonmen non li.
Moved by the power of the Spirit, Jesus returned to Galilee. Reports about him spread through all that region;
15 Li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay nan sinagòg yo. Tout moun t'ap fè lwanj li.
and he began to teach in their synagogues, and was honoured by everyone.
16 Jezi ale lavil Nazarèt kote l' te grandi a. Jou repo a, li antre nan sinagòg la tankou l' te toujou konn fè. Li leve kanpe pou l' li pou yo.
Coming to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, Jesus, as was his custom, went on the Sabbath into the synagogue, and stood up to read the scriptures.
17 Yo renmèt li liv pwofèt Ezayi a. Lè li louvri l', li jwenn kote ki te ekri:
He was given the book of the prophet Isaiah; and Jesus opened the book and found the place where it says –
18 Lespri Bondye a sou mwen. Li chwazi m' pou m' anonse bon nouvèl la bay pòv yo. Li voye m' pou m' fè tout prizonye yo konnen yo lage, pou m' fè tout avèg yo konnen yo kapab wè ankò, pou m' delivre moun y'ap maltrete yo,
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, for he has consecrated me to bring good news to the poor, he has sent me to proclaim release to captives and restoration of sight to the blind, to set the oppressed at liberty,
19 pou m' fè yo konenn lè a rive pou Bondye vin delivre pèp li a.
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.”
20 Apre sa, Jezi fèmen Liv la, li renmèt li bay moun ki t'ap ede nan sèvis la. li al chita. Tout moun ki te nan sinagòg la te gen je yo fikse sou li.
Then, closing the book and returning it to the attendant, he sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him,
21 Lè sa a li kòmanse di yo: Jòdi a, pandan n'ap tande pawòl ki ekri la a, li rive vre.
and Jesus began, ‘This very day this passage has been fulfilled in your hearing.’
22 Tout moun t'ap pale byen pou li. Yo te sezi tande bèl pawòl ki t'ap soti nan bouch li. Yo t'ap di konsa: Se pa pitit Jozèf la sa?
All who were present spoke well of him, and were astonished at the beautiful words that fell from his lips. ‘Isn’t Joseph’s son?’ they asked.
23 Jezi di yo: Koulye a, nou pral di pwovèb sa a sou mwen: Dòktè, geri tèt ou. N'a di m' tou: Nou tande tou sa ou te fè lavil Kapènawòm; fè yo isit la tou, nan peyi pa ou la.
‘Doubtless,’ said Jesus, ‘you will remind me of the saying – “Doctor, cure yourself;” and you will say “Do here in your own country all that we have heard that has been done at Capernaum.”
24 Epi li di yo ankò: Men, sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Yo pa janm resevwa yon pwofèt byen nan pwòp peyi li.
I tell you,’ he continued, ‘that no prophet is acceptable in his own country.
25 Se vre wi: Sou tan Eli, yon lè lapli pa t' tonbe pandan twazan sis mwa, tout peyi a te nan grangou. Lè sa a, te gen anpil vèv nan peyi Izrayèl la.
There were, doubtless, many widows in Israel in Elijah’s days, when the heavens were closed for three years and six months, and a severe famine prevailed throughout the country;
26 Men, Bondye pa t' voye Eli lakay yo yonn menm; se lakay yon vèv ki te rete lavil Sarepta nan peyi Sidon li te voye li.
and yet it was not to one of them that Elijah was sent, but to a widow at Zarephath in Sidonia.
27 Konsa tou, sou tan pwofèt Elize, te gen anpil moun ki te malad ak lalèp nan pèp Izrayèl la. Men, yo yonn pa t' jwenn gerizon. Se Naaman sèlman, nonm peyi Siri a, ki te geri.
And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, yet it was not one of them who was made clean, but Naaman the Syrian.’
28 Tout moun nan sinagòg la te byen ankòlè lè yo tande pawòl sa yo.
All the people in the synagogue, as they listened to this, became enraged.
29 Yo leve, yo trennen l' andeyò lavil la; yo mennen l' sou tèt ti mòn kote lavil la te bati a, yo t'ap pare pou yo te jete l' anba nan falèz la.
Starting up, they drove Jesus out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town stood, intending to hurl him down.
30 Men, Jezi pase nan mitan yo, li chape kò li.
But he passed through the middle of the crowd and went on his way.
31 Apre sa, Jezi desann Kapènawòm, yon vil nan peyi Galile. Jou repo a, li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay.
Then Jesus went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee. On the Sabbath he taught the people.
32 Yo te sezi tande sa l' t'ap moutre yo, paske li t'ap pale tankou moun ki gen dwa di sa l'ap di a.
They were amazed at his teaching, because his words were spoken with authority.
33 Te gen yon nonm nan sinagòg la ki te gen yon move lespri sou li. Li pran rele byen fò:
In the synagogue there was a man with the spirit of a foul demon in him, who called out loudly,
34 Ey, kisa nou gen avè ou, Jezi, nonm Nazarèt? Ou vin isit la pou detwi nou? Mwen konnen byen ki moun ou ye; ou se moun Bondye chwazi a.
‘Stop! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are – the Holy One of God!’
35 Jezi pale byen fò ak move lespri a, li di li: Pe la! Soti sou nonm lan. Move lespri a jete nonm lan atè nan mitan tout moun yo epi li soti, li ale san l' pa fè l' ankenn mal.
But Jesus rebuked the demon. ‘Be silent! Come out from him,’ he said. The demon flung the man down in the middle of the people, and then came out from him, without causing him further harm.
36 Tout moun te sezi, yonn t'ap di lòt: Ki pawòl sa a ye menm? Avèk otorite ak pouvwa li pase move lespri yo lòd sevè epi yo soti, y' ale.
And they were all lost in amazement, and kept saying to one another, ‘What words are these? For he gives his commands to the foul spirits with a marvellous authority, and they come out.’
37 Se tout moun ki t'ap nonmen non l' nan tout peyi a.
And rumours about Jesus traveled through every place in the region.
38 Jezi soti, li kite sinagòg la, li ale lakay Simon. Bèlmè Simon an te gen yon gwo lafyèb cho sou li. Yo mande Jezi pou l' fè kichòy pou li.
On leaving the synagogue, Jesus went into Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a severe attack of fever, and they asked Jesus to cure her.
39 Li panche sou malad la, li pase lafyèb la yon lòd. Lamenm, lafyèb la kite li. Menm lè a, madanm lan leve, li resevwa yo.
Bending over her, he rebuked the fever; the fever left her, and she immediately got up and began to take care of them.
40 Apre solèy te fin kouche, yo mennen tout moun malad ak tout moun ki t'ap soufri divès maladi bay Jezi. Li mete men l' sou tèt yo tout, li geri yo.
At sunset, all who had friends suffering from various diseases took them to Jesus; and he placed his hands on everyone of them and cured them.
41 Anpil move lespri tou te soti sou plizyè moun malad. Yo t'ap plede rele: Ou se pitit Bondye a. Men, Jezi te pale sevè ak yo, li pa t' kite yo pale paske yo te konnen se Kris la li ye.
And even demons came out from many people, screaming “You are the Son of God.” Jesus rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
42 Kou l' fè jou, Jezi soti, li ale yon kote ki pa gen moun. Yon foul moun t'ap chache li. Konsa, yo rive jouk kote li te ye a. Yo te vle kenbe l' pou l' pa t' kite yo.
At daybreak, Jesus went out and walked to a lonely spot. But crowds of people began to look for him; and they came to where he was and tried to detain him and prevent his leaving them.
43 Men li di yo: Fòk m' anonse bon nouvèl gouvènman Bondye ki Wa a bay moun lòt lavil yo tou, paske se pou sa Bondye voye mwen.
Jesus, however, said to them, ‘I must take the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns too, for that was why I was sent.’
44 Se konsa, li t'ap mache bay mesaj la nan sinagòg Jide yo.
And he continued to make his proclamation in the synagogues of Judea.
